Yahoo Geocities, Angelfire and Tripod

[Nova]

I don't know how many of you remember this era. I was kid at that time and I used to enjoy reading those small blogs and sites made by people around the world.
It was fun to try out some of those sites and learn about different people and the culture in general.
Have you ever checked these sites before they getting closed?

I remember the Geocities, sucks that yahoo took those sites down.

I remember GeoCities and shame it got shut down after 22 years.

I didn't really read them, I should but I always do the skipping and I do remember them, just not what I did read about.

I love this topic! It definitely takes me back, I really do miss those days I could just spend hours creating websites and blogs using those tools. I remember dabbling in all three of those. Does anyone remember expresspages as well?

 

[Demon_skeith]

Should be added that Yahoo answers also went down, such a waste of info.

I used to love shit like geocities and freewebs back in the day... hell that's where I made my first site.

Those were really fun places to hang out at...but wow, some of them were entirely obnoxious with the graphics, the appearance and the blinking images! I can't go back to something like that but it was new at the time and interesting to stumble into. I think I visited the Geocities sites more than Angelfire or Tripod. Were there more of those sites, does anyone know?

This is a major issue with the internet and why we should never let print media die out. A book is printed and copies are distributed around the world and in some form somewhere the information remains, a fixed point of knowledge from the time it was written. With the internet that isn't fact, it is too easy for it to be edited at a later point and it is too easy for it to be taken down.

I was a part of Yahoo Geo Cities and yes was disappointed when they decided to close it down. I am not aware of the other two.
